MEMPHIS, TN -- A man has been indicted for the murder of former University of Central Arkansas basketball player Jimmy McClain.

The Shelby County, Tenn. Sheriff's Office has indicted 19-year-old Dwayne Moore for murder.

Moore is currently behind bars on a $2 million bond for aggravated burglary and theft of property. After being served with the indictment, Moore is expected to be officially charged on Tuesday evening.

According to an affidavit from Shelby County, Moore was arrested for stealing a custom AR-15 rifle from a person's home.

Sheriff Bill Oldham announced a press conference for Wednesday morning to discuss the details on the case, but declined to release any additional information until then.

The 49-year-old McClain taught personal finance and accounting at Ridgeway High School, where he was also an assistant coach on the boy's basketball team.
